Is my PSP bricked?

I'm on 1.50 firmware i need to get to 3.52 i've done everything right, this is the only conclusion I can come to whenever i try to execute the files on my psp it always says that the game could not start, does this mean my psp is bricked?

place the kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% folders in the /PSP/GAME folder. then go to the xmb and go to game/memory card. there will be a kxploit permanent patcher program. choose to run it and the program will start.

there's one corrupt data. that's normal. if your /PSP/GAME folder only has the two kxploitpatcher folders and nothing else, then there will be two icons in the xmb. one corrupt, and one kxploit permanent patcher

Copy the M33CREATOR, kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% folders to the PSP/GAME folder.

Go to Game Menu Memory Stick and run the KXploit Permanent Patcher (There will be a corrupt data file also here but ignore it because It is normal). It should run and say patched successfully and reboot back to the XMB(PSP menu).

Now go to game Menu Memory Stick and run the M33CREATOR.

When you run the M33CREATOR it will show loading 150 writing 150 then loading 352 writing 352 something like that. When it is done it should reboot back to the XMB.

Now go to Game Menu Memory Stick and run the 3.52 M33 UPDATE that the M33CREATOR created. It will flash the files to the PSP when it is finished it will say press X to shutdown. Go ahead and press X after the PSP turns off turn it back on and go to system settings then system information and check to see if your at 3.52 M33 firmware. If you are then do the below steps. If you are not then you did something wrong and need to redo the steps above.

kxploit permanent patcher will only work on 1.50 and no other firmware. if you still get "the game cannot be started" error, then you don't have 1.50.
